*******Update 2\/20\/15: all of my amazing Whole30 readers have come out of the woodwork to inform me that this recipe is apparently NOT Whole30 compliant. From my understanding– the ingredients ARE all compliant, but put together as pancakes they are not. Also, for clarification purposes: I like to add the strawberries, whipped cream, and syrup as a PERSONAL PREFERENCE (I am NOT eating Whole30… obviously). I am not suggesting that these toppings are Whole30 compliant.*******<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve said it before, and I’m saying it again:  I will never<\/em> post a “diet” recipe on this site unless it absolutely, undeniably tastes good enough to be a dessert<\/span>! When you see something healthy on here, you can rest assured that it TASTES GOOD. Always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pancakes are gluten free, dairy free, whole 30 compliant, and super duper good for you all the way around. Annnnnnnnnnd they’re delicious<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About These Banana Pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I found this recipe about a year ago on a healthy-eats Instagram account that I loved (sadly, it’s gone now). I made a lot of the recipes from the account, and they were yummy 100% of the time. That’s why I trusted her recipe for these banana pancakes as soon as I saw them posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pancakes are the fluffiest and most flavorful banana pancakes I’ve ever tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, when I say “banana pancakes” and “ever tried,” it’s important to clarify that I mean within the clean eating spectrum. It’s a given that banana pancake recipes that use flour and oil are going to yield a softer, more bread-like pancake. But within these super healthy parameters… these are the BEST.<\/p>\n\n\n

I credit the almond butter. It definitely improves the texture by a million percent and keeps these pancakes from that typical rubbery, egg-y feel most banana pancakes have. Plus, it adds a great flavor (something besides just<\/em> banana).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s really critical to this recipe that you don’t blend<\/em> or process the ingredients together. The “smushing” and “mashing” and leaving chunks is crucial to achieving a little bit of fluff. And be sure to follow the recipe in order! Trust me, I’m all about just tossing everything in a bowl and mixing. But in this case, it’s helpful to add the ingredients in a certain order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s not to say these are complicated or take a long time to make though. In fact, it’s just the opposite! This recipe comes together in less than a few minutes and is as simple as mushing up a banana with a fork. Literally. And it’s a perfect serving size for one (or, if you’re like us, one + a toddler with a little bacon on the side).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like these best served with maple syrup, strawberries, and a little whipped cream. And if I’m feeling extra hungry, I’ll add a little more almond butter to the stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n
